The short draw distance was a bit odd, but otherwise the graphics are good.  Seemed to go a bit too fast to control very well, as well.  Pretty good overall."},{"author_name":"pinkmonkeyhead","author_uid":"11711","time":"May 2, 2014 @ 2:50pm","epoch":1399041900,"text":"Nice gfx!"},{"author_name":"icereci","author_uid":"32854","time":"May 3, 2014 @ 12:33pm","epoch":1399120080,"text":"funny sound effects :) good job"},{"author_name":"xdegtyarev","author_uid":"5862","time":"May 9, 2014 @ 4:42pm","epoch":1399653420,"text":"Hehe, funny! :)"},{"author_name":"TheCze","author_uid":"17841","time":"May 10, 2014 @ 1:07pm","epoch":1399726920,"text":"Played the Rift Version, felt a bit weird that the model clipped through my head but I liked the Kraken."},{"author_name":"csanyk","author_uid":"10473","time":"May 13, 2014 @ 3:15am","epoch":1399950600,"text":"It downloaded for like 10 minutes, played for a few seconds then suddenly the web browser acted like I had clicked a link and I got taken to some other page.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I really wanted to check this out, but that was not worth repeating to see what the heck happened.
